Addoway taps into Facebook's social graph to recommend merchants to you that your friends have bought from in the past, in addition to merchants your friends and friends-of-friends know personally.These features were created to help you feel more comfortable buying from merchants you have never bought from before by gaining recommendations from your friends, and also make it really easy for you to help your friends find great deals from people they can trust.

Come listen to Co-founder and CEO Fredrick Nijm discuss these cool new features and what they mean for buyers and sellers. Please feel free to leave your questions and comments below this video. Thank you.
